Thread: Public crafting stations
DiscoDuck from MotorCity OnLine? Let me know! Its the chick from NYC! IF not you blow for stealing the name!
*laughs at the fool*
Can anyone tell a newbie how to use the public crafting stations? I have all kinds of crafting devices, but it seems like no matter what device I use in front of whatever public station, I do not get any different stuff to try to craft. I am both a medic and an artisan, but I seem to be missing something. Do I have to be at a certain experience level to use the stations? Can someone give me some step-to-step type details? Anything is better than what I know now (which is nothing.) Thanks,
You don't have to do anything special to use the public crafting stations, you just have to be next to the appropriate one (if you're using your food/chemical crafting tool, stand next to the food/chemical crafting station).
But at the lower levels, you don't get any extra schematics, the only difference will be the added "experimentation" step that lets you tinker with the final product to try and improve its stats before assembly.
I think for the medic, you don't start seeing schematics that you MUST craft at a crafting station until Organic Chemistry IV (Small Stimpack C).
The public crafting stations are ment for high lvl schematics. when you start out you wont need it till you have eng 3 or equivelent in other profetions. when you get higher you can use the stations to do experimentations, build schematics of your one creations to mass produce, or to create difficultie 21+ items.
Not all stations are the same though. you need to use the one your trade matches. so food and chemical stations are for chef's, doctors, and bio-eng's. so make sure your using the right station for your tools, and profetion.

There is a nice thing about having them in a structure... should some idiot come along and care to attack a crafter who's overt (for the sake of not gettinga TEF everytime they make a trade with an overt player) - the attacker picks up a TEF and is shown the door =)

The public crafting stations seem to be a total waste. I can't bring up any advanced schematics with them. Even the crafting station in my R2 unit lets me bring them up. Not sure if this is working as intended like much of the game.
